Recently in my Falcons offline dynasty I have pretty much learned that awareness = high overall.

I find myself stockpiling midround draft picks trying to land dudes with high AWR ratings. I don't use it as an end-all attribute, but it has been pretty much a goldmine.

-Drafted a linebacker projected to be a 5-6th rounder with 86 or so awareness in the first year. He was 84 OVR when I drafted him and is in the 90s by 2013.

-Drafted a safety in the second round with 84 awareness. He's 95 OVR now.

By this method I've ended up with an 85 RG (sixth round) along with a RG that progressed to 88, a TE that went to 84 (third round), two 86/87 WRs, a 78 running back that also progressed to 84, and some more finds.

I think it's kinda interesting, also because the players I draft with killer physical ability (hello, 88 arm strength!) were massive busts and like 37 OVR.
